The first issues with “REPUBLIQUE DU SENEGAL” in the frank appeared in 1961. Until 1960 Senegal was part of French West Africa. See FRENCH WEST AFRICA for stamps issued before 1960.
From 1960 to about 1976 Senegal was included in the Federation of Mali, and some meter stamps inscribed “FEDERATION DU MALI” were used in the country. See MALI, Group A, for those issues.
The stamps are grouped by usage:
A – private and commercial use
PO – generated only by machines in post offices
